Dear District Councillors \u00a0Larry Braid, Mark Clairmont and John Klinck,<\/p>\n
We would like to sincerely thank each of you for your NO vote in regards to giving the District land to Swift River Energy Limited to build a hydroelectric generating facility at the Bala Falls.\u00a0 It was disappointing but not surprising to watch the complete abandonment of Bala by all of the Township of Muskoka Lakes councillors.\u00a0 We appreciate the questions you posed and the support you expressed.\u00a0 Many minds were previously committed.\u00a0 At the falls, the large gathering of town’s folk was very disappointed that the majority of councillors only listened to one side of the story.\u00a0 It was frustrating for the crowd to see their own spokespersons totally ignored by the District council in general.\u00a0 We appreciate the visits you each made to Bala and we are grateful for your efforts.<\/p>\n
We always knew that whatever decision was made by the District council, our battle was not over at that meeting.\u00a0 We have always understood that this is a provincial initiative and only at the provincial level can it be stopped.\u00a0 We must carry this struggle forward to Queen’s Park and we will.\u00a0 We had hoped to carry on with the District’s support as Mayor Klinck suggested.\u00a0 With such a large group of highly aware local taxpayers objecting to this venture, we hope that soon decision makers will listen and start to consider what is best for Bala, now and for the future.<\/p>\n
Again THANK YOU for supporting Bala.\u00a0 Thank you for showing you care about the residents and businesses.<\/p>\n
Sincerely,<\/p>\n
